Located in Concord, New Hampshire. The New Hampshire State Hospital was established in 1842. This winning photo was taken by Roxie Zwicker of New England Curiosities of the Bancroft House which is part of the State Hospital. It was built in 1892 and it was supposed to provide a more homelike environment for patients. This building is now abandoned and locked up. Thank ou so much for this great photo, Roxie.
My visit to The Myrtles in 2007
Another winner was submitted by Jonas Brihammar owner of Ghost Augustine which offers Ghostly Hearse Tours and Haunted Pub Tours. The photo was taken at the haunted Lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida. Ghost Augustine is a great way to spend an evening in St. Augustine. Thanks alot, Jonas ;o)
This photo was submitted by the folks at Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, LA. I am posting this photo for everyone to look at and entitling it, You Be The Judge. Is it really something paranormal or is it just your eyes playing tricks on you. I have my conclusion, now you give me yours. Thank you to The Oak Alley Plantation, another beautiful piece of history along the Mississippi River.
This photo was voted spookiest and was taken in Williamsburg, Virginia by Ron Carnegie. Ron is a practioner of the art and science of wet plate photography. This was the photography that replaced the more expensive and time consuming Daguerrotype. The type of photography practiced through out the American Civil War. Unfortunatley the old wind mill is no longer standing but is supposed to be refurbished and put back together.Thank you so much fo this photo, Ron. It is truely one of my favorites.
